Gravel Calculator — Free Online Calculator

Estimates the volume and weight of gravel or crushed stone required for a layer.

What is it?

The crushed stone calculator works out the volume and weight of material for surfacing paths and yards, drainage layers and foundation beds. It includes an allowance for compaction.

Formula

Volume (m³) = area × layer thickness × (1 + waste / 100) Weight (t) = volume × density (1.5 t/m³) Rounded up to the nearest 0.1 m³

Example

Yard 20 m², 15 cm layer (0.15 m), 10% waste. Volume: 20 × 0.15 × 1.1 = 3.3 m³. Weight: 3.3 × 1.5 = 5 t.
